Full station area and branch line with fictional loco facilities. Based on Gleneagles 1953 track plan. Planning to run as a mainline/heritage set-up but combined with regular freight option up branch line...........

I seriously suggest you run the fan of LH points at the right hand end of the outer fiddle yard (top right) from a LH point off the curve so as to avoid the kink of turning left then right into the yard. You'll also get slightly longer tracks in the outer fiddle yard as a result

Yes, I see what you mean. I've played around with it and will incorporate that in next update.

I also got my scaling wrong on the bottom half of the layout. 1.2m instead of 0.9m so some adjustment to do.....

Cool plan. Lots of wires...Are you going to have a hole to pop up through to interfere with what's going on ( or off) the tracks? Or are you able to access all sides?

All wires will be underneath, no OHLE here.... I see what you mean about accessing the track. There will be access all round and all track will actually be within an arms length so should "The Hand of God" be required to rescue anything it should be manageable.

Can I suggest a change to the top right to allow you up to 18% more track for the same space?or to maximise storage space even more, a change that adds nearly 33% more track!Of course if you have other ideas for this space, feel free to ignore my suggestions

Wow, Can I do that? I'll give it a try...... Will post result next week.
